Abstract Paynter finished in the money here recently but has had 21 starts without success so far and was behind runner-up Concrete Finisher last time. Both finished ahead of EVIE’S PRINCE (NAP) but the latter was making his racecourse debut and with improvement likely representing Robertino Diodoro’s leading yard, the Animal Kingdom colt gets the vote. Danzig River and stablemate Gone Dancing have more to find if they are to figure.
